I am under the weather today, so I am not to going to do much with this. The closings show that we are going to come up short of the 8000 we projected for November. The current number is going to rise, as realtors will be adding more in from yesterday's closings, but it won't be enough to reach 8000. Its an okay month, but not an outstanding one.

Inventory fell a little in the past week, as did AWC contracts. I am not sure if that means more short sales closed, or that new contracts have slowed. It is likley the second one, as we are going into a dormancy period for a few months, and new activity can be expected to slacken.

I will update a more complete final closing tally later this week; it certainly will surpass 7600.
